Introduction
The full title of the project is: Project NEXUS: The Maryland Upper Elementary/Middle School Science Teacher Professional Continuum Model. It was designed as a research project to investigate the question:
To what extent of success (and for what reasons) undergraduate elementary teacher education majors, particularly those from currently underrepresented groups, with demonstrated interest and performance in science, can be recruited and prepared to teach upper elementary/middle science in a manner consistent with Standards-based recommendations?
